Telmunic Empire
The ancient empire forged by Hundaru of Telmun, it spanned from the Kaphtor Islands to the island of Lahat. After the assassination of Hundaru, many of the furthest territories broke away, leaving his heir Tylos of Nisi in command of a smaller empire entirely contained within the Southeastern Region. Tylos' heirs were unable to keep the diminished empire intact, with the final blow being the successful rebellion of the Naga, who formed the Nagarajya on Saba. After that, the empire consisted only of the Telmun Islands. After the establishment of the Malikate of Saba, the Malika of Saba convinced Kīnum-šar-uṣur, the last emperor of Telmun to name her as his heir, and she became Empress of Telmun upon his death. Today, the Telmunic Empire operates as a protectorate of the Malikate of Saba.

Timeline of the Imperial Collapse
The Telmunic Empire reached its greatest extent early, during the lifetime of Hundaru of Telmun. After his death, the territories of the empire began to break away, until only the Telmun Islands were left, and then they became a satellite nation of the Malikate of Saba. Here is a quick list of the dates when the major regions broke away.
- 2110: Hundaru of Telmun dies - the westernmost territories of Lahat, Lampuato, and Pulo break away almost immediately.
- 2116: All the territories of the Southern and Southwestern regions had broken away, leaving only those islands in the Southeastern Region remaining.
- 2140s: Outlying islands in the Southeastern Region break away, including the northern Kaphtors and Chinet.
- 2284: Dzarbah breaks away.
- 2345: The Nagarajya forms on the island of Saba.
- 2350s - 2550s: The remaining territories in the Southeastern Region beyond the Telmun Islands break away as the Nagarajya becomes the dominant power in the region.
